NBA Trade Rumor: Tracy McGrady to Knicks?
Trade talks involving Tracy McGrady heading to the New York Knicks have been thrust into overdrive today.
The deal, according to a report on Yahoo, is a blockbuster including McGrady, Joey Dorsey, and Brian Cook being shipped to the Big Apple in exchange for Jared Jefferies, 2009 draftl pick Jordan Hill, and possibly Al Harrington. Larry Hughes is also being mentioned, as well as a plethora of future draft pick considerations.

McGrady and his $23 Million expiring contract represents a glimmering spark of hope for Donnie Walsh to purge his roster of the aftermath of Isiah Thomas’ atrocious tenure as a General Manager.
Acquiring McGrady allows the Knicks to evaluate T Mac to determine if he has anything left in the tank.
Regardless of McGrady’s abilities, the Knicks get to maneuver tons of salary cap space to go after LeBron James and the amazing class of 2010 free agents.
With New York faltering out of playoff contention and currently ranked 11th, they will likely give McGrady the opportunity to play, which is something Houston was not interested in doing.
The question is, will McGrady actually be able to play? Is he capable of still playing?
He has missed a lot of time, and allegedly is in Chicago training hard and regaining strength with legendary trainer Tim Grover.
At the very least, New York fans can have something to cheer about: Donnie Walsh successfully dumping out Isiah’s trash.
